4 Agenda Understanding Deduplication Using Deduplication in Backup Systems Using Data Reduction in Primary Systems Recent Backup Software Advancements Backing up Virtual Servers Backups on a Budget Stump Curtis
5 Session 1 Understanding Deduplication
6 Why Disk? First a little history
7 History of My World Part I When I joined the industry (1993) Disks were 4 MB/s, tapes were 256 KB/s Networks were 10 Mb shared QIC 80 (60 KB/s) Seventeen years later (2010) Disks are 70 MB/s, tapes are 120 MB/s Networks are 10 Gb switched Changes in 17 years Exabyte 8200 (256 KB/s) 17x increase in disk speed (luckily, RAID has created virtual disks that are way faster) 500x increase in tape speed! 1000x+ increase in network speed DECStation 5000
8 More History Plan A: Stage to disk, spool to tape Pioneered by IBM in 90s, widely adopted in late 00s Large, very fast virtual disk as caching mechanism to tape Only need enough disk to hold one night s backups Helps backups; does not help restores Plan B: Backup to disk, leave on disk AKA the early VTL craze Helps backups and restores Disk was still way too expensive to make this feasible for most people
9 Plan C: Dedupe It s perfect for traditional backup Fulls backup the same data every day/week/month Incrementals backup entire file when only one byte changes Both backup file 100 times if it s in 100 locations Databases are often backed up full every day Tons of duplicate blocks! Average actual reduction of 10:1 and higher It s not perfect for everything Pre-compressed or encrypted data File types that don t have versions (multimedia)
10 Naysayers Eliminate all but one copy? No, just eliminate duplicates per location What about hash collisions? More on this later, but this is nothing but FUD If you re unconvinced, use a delta differential approach Doesn t this have immutability concerns? Everything that changes the format of the data has immutability concerns (e.g. sector-based storage, tar, etc) Job of backup/archive applications is to verify same in/out What about the dedupe d tax? Let s talk more about this one in a bit
11 Is There a Plan D? Some pundits/analysts think dedupe (especially target dedupe) is a band-aid, and will eventually be done away with via backup- software-based dedupe, d delta-backups, etc. Maybe this will happen in a 3-5 year time span, maybe it won t. (In fact, some backup software companies will tell you they don t need no stinking dedupe appliances.) That s still no argument for not moving on what s available to solve your problems now
12 How Dedupe Works
13 Your Mileage WILL Vary You really can get 10x to 400x It depends on Frequency of full backups (more fulls = more dupes) How much of a given incremental backup contains versions of other files (multimedia generally doesn t have versions) Length of retention (longer retention = more dupes) Redundancy in single full backup (if your product notices) Things that confuse dedupe Encrypting data before the dedupe process sees it Compressing data before the dedupe process sees it Compressing data before the dedupe process sees it Multiplexing to a VTL
14 How Do They Identify Duplicate Data? Two very different methods Chunking/hashing Asigra, EMC Avamar, Symantec PureDisk, CommVault Simpana EMC Data Domain, Greenbytes, FalconStor VTL & FDS, NEC, Quantum DXi Delta differential Exagrid, IBM Protectier, Ocarina, SEPATON Some systems may use a hybrid approach
15 Chunking/Hashing Method Slice all data into segments or chunks Run chunk through hashing algorithm (SHA-1) Check hash value against all other hash values Chunk with identical hash value is discarded Will find redundant blocks between files from different file systems, even different servers
16 Delta Differential Method Correlate backups Mathematical methods Using metadata Compare similar backups byte-by-byte Example Tonight s backup of Exchange instance Elvis is seen as similar to last night s backup of Elvis Tonight s backup of Elvis is compared byte-by-byte b b to last night s backup of Elvis & redundant segments are found
17 Hashing & Delta Differential Hashing Most used method with most mileage Some concerned about hash collisions (more on this later) Compares everything to everything, therefore gets more dedupe out of similar data in dissimilar datasets (e.g. production and test copy of same data) Delta Differentials Faster than hashing No concern about hash collisions Only compares like backups, so will get no dedupe on similar data in dissimilar datasets, but does get more dedupe on same data What will you get? Only testing with your data will answer that t question.
18 Hash Collisions: The real numbers Hash Size Number of Hashes & Amount of Data to achieve Desired Probability (Assuming 8k chunk size) bits (MD5) PB YB 160 bits (SHA-1) EB ,371, YB : Odds of single disk writing incorrect data and not knowing it (Undetectable Bit Error Rate or UBER) With SHA-1, we have to write 6.6 PB to get those odds 10-5 : Worst odds of a double-disk RAID5 failure We have to write 1,371,181 YB to reach those odds Original formula here: Original formula modified with MacLaurin series expansion to mitigate Excel s lack of precision and is here: backupcentral.com/hash-odds.xls
19 Where Is the Data Deduped? Target Dedupe Data is sent unmodified d across LAN & deduped d d at target t No LAN/WAN benefits until you replicate target to target Cannot compress or encrypt before sending to target Source Dedupe Redundant data is identified at backup client Only new, unique data sent across LAN/WAN LAN/WAN benefits, can back up remote/mobile data Allows for compression, encryption at source Hybrid Fingerprint data at source, dedupe at target Allows for compression, encryption at source
20 Let s Make It More Complicated Standalone Target Dedupe Dedupe appliance separate from backup software Integrated Target Dedupe Target dedupe from b/u s/w vendor that backs up to POD* Standalone Source Dedupe Full dedupe solution that only does source dedupe Integrated Source Dedupe Backup software that can dedupe at client (or not) Hybrid Also from backup software company *Plain Ol Disk
21 Name That Dedupe Standalone Target Dedupe Data Domain, Exagrid, Greenbytes, IBM, NEC, Quantum, SEPATON Integrated Target Dedupe Symantec NetBackup Integrated Source Dedupe Asigra, Symantec NetBackup Standalone Source Dedupe EMC Avamar, i365 evault, Symantec NetBackup Hybrid CommVault Simpana
22 Multi-node Deduplication AKA Global Deduplication AKA Clustered Deduplication
23 What We re Not Talking About Remember hashing vs. delta differential dedupe Delta compares like to like Hashing compares everything to everything Some sales reps from some companies (that don t have multi-node/global l l dedupe) d are calling the latter global dedupe. It s not. At a minimum this is honest confusion Possibly this is subterfuge uge to confuse the buyer
24 Single-node/Local l vs. Multi-node/Global l Assume a customer buys multiple nodes of a dedupe system Suppose, then, that they back up exactly the same client to each of those multiple nodes If the vendor fails to recognize the duplicate data and stores it multiple times, it has singlenode/local dedupe If the vendor recognizes duplicate data across multiple nodes and stores it on only one node, they have multi-node/global dedupe
25 Doctor It Hurts When I Do This Single-node/local dedupe vendors say then don t do that. Why would you do that? They tell you to split up your datasets and send a given dataset t to only one appliance Easy to do if Your dataset t sizes never change A given dataset never outgrows a node Some single-node sales reps will point out that t this also doesn t harm your dedupe ratio because most dedupe is from comparing like to like. They re also the same ones claiming they get better dedupe because they compare all to all. Which is it?
26 Multi-node Is the Way to Go Especially for larger environments & budget conscious environments that buy as they go With multi-node dedupe you can load-balance & treat same as you would a large tape library Single-node node dedupe pushes the vendors to ride the crest of the CPU/RAM wave Multi-node vendors can ride behind the wave, saving cost without reducing value
27 Multi/Single Node Dedupe Vendors Multi-node/global EMC Avamar (12 nodes) Exagrid (10 nodes) NEC (55 nodes) SEPATON (8 nodes) Symantec PureDisk, NetBackup & Backup Exec Diligent (2 nodes) Single-node/local (as of Mar 2010) EMC Data Domain NetApp ASIS Quantum
28 When Is It Deduped? AKA Inline or Post Process?
29 Get Out the Swords We d have just as much luck trying to settle these arguments Apple vs Windows Linux vs either of them Linux vs FreeBSD Vmware vs the mainframe (the original hypervisor) Cable modem vs DSL Initial common sense leans to inline, but postprocess offers a lot of advantages Cannot pick based on concept; must pick based on price/performance
30 What s the Difference? This only applies to target dedupe Inline is synchronous dedupe Post-process is asynchronous dedupe Both are deduping as the data is coming into the device (with most products and configs) The question is really where the dedupe process reads the native data from. If it reads it from RAM, we re talking inline. If it reads it from disk, we re talking post process.
31 Inline & Post-process: An I/O Walkthrough Step IL Hash IL Delta PP Hash PP Delta Ingest (100%) RAM write RAM write Disk write Disk write New segment RAM read RAM read Disk read Disk read Old segment RAM read Disk read RAM read Disk read Match (90%) Disk delete Disk delete No match(10%) Disk write Disk write For every 100 GB an inline hash system writes 10 GB to disk For every 100 GB an inline delta system writes 10 GB, reads 100 GB from disk For every 100 GB a post process hash system writes 100 GB, reads 100 GB, and deletes 90 GB from disk For every 100 GB a post process delta system writes 100 GB, reads 200 GB, and deletes 90 GB from disk Common sense seems like inline has a major advantage Things change when you consider the dedupe tax
32 The Chair Recognizes Inline When you re done with backups, you re done with dedupe Backups begin replicating as soon as they arrive The post-process vendors need a staging area The post-process vendors don t start deduping d until a backup is done; that will make things take longer
33 The Chair Recognizes Post-process When backups are done, dedupe is almost done Replication begins as soon as the first backup is done We wait until a backup is done, not until all the backups are done (unless you tell us to) The staging area allows Initial backups to be faster Allows copies and recent restores to come from native data Allows for staggered implementation of dedupe Selectively dedupe only what makes sense You don t need as much staging disk as you might think Inline vendors may slow down large backups and restore. They always rehydrate. We only rehydrate older data.
34 Inline & Post-process Vendors Inline EMC Data Domain IBM Protectier NEC HydraStor Post-process Exagrid Greenbytes Quantum DXi Quantum DXi SEPATON Deltastor
35 How Does Replication Work? Does replication use dedupe? Can I replicate many-to-one, one-to-many, cascading replication? If deduping many to one, will it dedupe globally across those appliances? Can I control what gets replicated and when? (e.g. production vs development)
36 Is There an Index? What happens if the index is destroyed? How do you protect against that? Does it need its index to read the data? What do you to verify data integrity? What about malicious people? Some dedupe vendors aren t very good at answering these questions, partially because they don t get them enough Make sure you ask them

38 Session Two Using Deduplication in Backup Systems Using Data Reduction in Primary Systems
39 The Dedupe Tax AKA Rehydration Problem Essentially a read from very fragmented data Not all dedupe systems are equally adept at reassembling Humpty Dumpty Especially visible during tape copies & restores of large systems (single stream performance) Recent POC of three major vendors showed 3x difference in performance! Remember to test replica source & destination
40 Isn t It Cheaper Just to Buy tape? Tape is cheaper than ever & keeps getting cheaper Must encrypt if you re using tape Must use D2D2T to stream modern tape drives Must constantly tweak to ensure you re doing it right Take all that away and use dedupe May not be cheaper but definitely better Buy JBOD/RAID Even if it were free, you still have to power it Power/cooling bill will be 10-20x more with JBOD/RAID Replication not feasible, stuck with tape for offsite (see above)
41 Let s Talk About What Matters What are the risks of their approach? Data integrity questions How big is it? What s my dedupe ratio? How big can it grow (local vs global) How fast is it How fast can it backup/restore/copy my data? How fast is replication? How much does it cost? Pricing schemes are all over the board Try to get them on even playing field Also consider operational costs Adding storage Replacing drives (how long does rebuild take?) Monitoring, etc
42 Advanced Uses of Deduplication
43 Eliminate Tape Shipping Offsite backups w/o shipping tapes Backups with no human hands on them Make tapes offsite from replicated copy and never move them No tapes shipped = No need to encrypt tapes
44 Shorter Recovery Point Objectives Most companies run backups once per day Even though they back up their transaction logs, throughout the day, they re only sent offsite once per day Dedupe and replication could get them offsite immediately throughout the day
45 VMware Backup One of the challenges with typical VMware backup is the I/O load it places on the server Source dedupe can perform an incrementalforever backup with a much lower I/O load Could allow you to continue simpler backups without having to invest in VCB
46 ROBO & Laptop Backups Dedupe software can protect even the largest laptops over the Internet It can also protect relatively large remote sites without installing hardware Restores can be done locally (for slower RTOs) or locally using a local recovery server (for quicker RTOs)
47 Where to Use Target/Source Dedupe Laptops, Vmware, Hyper-V are easy: it s got to be source Small, remote sets of data also an easy decision. Could do target w/remote backup server, but cost usually pushes people to source. A medium-sized (<1 TB) remote site could use a remote target system or remote source dedupe backup server that replicates to CO Medium-large datacenter could also use either Large datacenter (10TB+) might start to find things they don t like about a source system Should do POC to decide
48 Source Dedupe: Remote Backup Server? If using source dedupe to backup a remote office, should you back up directly to a centralized backup server or backup to a remote backup server that t replicates to a central server? It s all about the RTO you need. Decide on RTO, test totally remote restore and see if it can meet it. If not, use a remote server
49 How Big is Too Big to Replicate Backups? Remote office replicating to a CO, or a CO replicating its backups to a DR site, there is a limit to how much you can replicate Make sure you ve done all you can to maximize deduplication ratio. A 10:1 site will need twice as much bandwidth as a 20:1 site. Depends on daily deduplicated change rate, which is a factor of data types and dedupe ratio Now common to protect 1 TB over typical WAN lines, much more over dedicated lines
50 Test, Test, Test!!!
51 Test Everything Installation and configuration, including adding additional capacity Support call and ask stupid questions Dedupe ratio Must use your data Must use your retention settings Must fill up the system All speeds Backup speed Copy speed extremely important to test Restore speed Aggregate performance With all your data types Especially true if using local dedupe Single stream performance Backup speed Restore and copy speed (especially if going to tape) Replication Performance Lag time (if using post process) Dedupe speed (if using post process) Loss of physical systems Drive rebuild times Reverse replication to replace array? Unplug things, see how it handles it Be mean!
52 Testing Methods: Source Dedupe Must install on all data types you plan to back up Must task the system to the point that you plan to use it VMware anyone? OK to back up many redundant systems; that s kind of the point Remember to test speed of copy to tape if you plan to do so
53 Testing Methods: Target Dedupe Copy production backups into IDT/VTL using your backup software s built-in cloning/migration/dupe features Use dedicated drives if possible and script it to run 24x7 You must fill up the system, expire some data, then add more data to see steady state info Copy/backup to one system, replicate to another, record entire time, then restore/copy data from replicated copy
54 Data Reduction in Primary Storage
55 A Whole New Ball Game In primary space, we use the term data reduction, as it s more inclusive than dedupe A very different access pattern; latency is much more important The standard in backup world is tape: just don t be slower so than that and dyou re OK The standard in primary world is disk: anything you do to slow it down will kill the project Will not get same ratios as backup Summary: the job is harder and the rewards are fewer And yet, some are still trying it
56 Options Compression File-level dedupe Sub-file-level dedupe Some files compress, but don t dedupe Some files dedupe but don t compress well
57 Vendors Compression Storwize, Ocarina File-level dedupe EMC Celerra Sub-file-level dedupe NetApp ASIS, Ocarina, Greenbytes, Exar/Hifn, SNOracle Usually you get compression or dedupe Ocarina & Exar claim to do both compression and sub-file-level level dedupe
58 Pros/Cons of Primary Data Reduction Saves disk space, power/cooling Can have positive or negative impact on performance must test to see which Does not usually help backups: data is re-duped before being read by any app, including backup Exception to above rule is NetApp SnapMirror to tape
